  1. Reading Comprehension Part 2

  2. Paragraph 1- The Story of the Hamburger • It would be hard to find a person in America who has never eaten a hamburger, but this popular food was not originally made in America. The original hamburger can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when Russia at raw meat that was scraped and shredded with a dull knife and formed patties. It was called Tartar steak. This was the first step in a long series of developments that eventually resulted in hamburger as we know it today.

  3. Paragraph 2 • German sailors picked up the raw meat delicacy in their contacts with Russians and brought it back to their home port of Hamburg. But the people there were unused to eating raw meat, so they broiled the outside of the Russian steak; thus the hamburg steak was born.

  4. Paragraph 3 • The hamburg steak was brought to America in the nineteenth century by German immigrants. Louis Lassen, a cook in New Haven, Connecticut, modified the hamburg steak by sandwiching it between two pieces of bread. But the true American hamburger came into existence in St. Louis at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904. A harried cook at the fair quickly slapped broiled beef patties between buns and served them to a demanding crowd, which gulped them down joyously.

  5. Paragraph 4 • At first this new food creation was made from scraps of poorer cuts of meat that were not used for anything else, but before long scraps were not enough. The demand for greater quantities of hamburger could only be met by using more and more better cuts. Hamburger stands sprang up all over the counter, and a side industry of condiments, such as ketchup and relish, grew up and prospered along with the popular hamburger.

  6. Miley Cyrus • I want to be the cool chick that everyone wants to be friends with. I want the people who watch my shows or watch my videos to be like, “She looks like the most fun person to hang out with ever.” It’s like, if you’re hanging out with Beyonce’, it’s almost like you’re hanging out with a goddess. She’s like a real queen. It’s a different realm. Where my thing is king of the opposite. My shtick is I’m the homey.

  7. Johnny Manziel I don’t see myself as Johnny Football. I still see myself as young, the same guy I was before I ever won the Heisman. Hopefully my friends still feel I’m the same way. I just want people to know I’m still the same person I’ve always been.

  8. Tyler Perry as “Madea” • Cook a big pot of grits, bring him into the kitchen, then toss the grits on him. Then after you too them, swat him with a frying pan. You gotta get you a good balanced weight, toss and swat, toss and swat, toss and swat, Venus and Serena, that’s called grit girl.
